Good afternoon fellow WWYKillers, it sogod to see you all.Now let me speak frnakly about a little thing called Spanish. yes it is an important language to many, especially to those who speak it. But why I ask should I ber required to take four semesters of a foreign language anyways,w ill it make me more cultured or will it just drop my GPA. The simple answer is this, its all bullshit. The requirements the class, the department. WOuld any of this bitching have anything to my last quiz grade, well a bit, but still Spanish sucks.
so in a nice unison like they taught you long ago repeat after me. Fuck Spanish! now dont you all feel much better, I know I do.
ok now back to my spanish homework.. ps would anyone like to possibly goto all mys panish classes for me and take the tests and virtually pretend to be me so tat i wouldnt have to deal with any of this. well if you do please fax me your resume, and a 5,000 dollar prosessing fee. thank you and have a nice day. |

Poor you. But your spanish mark can't be as bad as my physics, or my chemistry marks. |

They require you to take four fucking semesters of SPANISH? Oh, come the fuck on! There is no real nation that is powerful economic wise that uses Spanish as a language. If you're going to waste four semesters trying to enhance your 'culture awareness' (or the college's fund for wasteful spending), you might as well take Japanese: not only is it useful in the business world, but it's also a real change from the fucking waste that is Spanish.Why does it bug me? Because all the languages I could take in my ghetto hick/Kid Rock high school was either Spanish or French and both were a fucking waste of time. The only reason schools offer them is because it fulfills a requirement without much effort. What a fucking waste of time. Of course, I come from a school which is now using textbooks that are 98% duct tape and 55% ghetto-slang written on the pages, yet can boost a cool $40 million for another 'Varsity' gym or other high school so the superintendent can line his pockets in more money to buy sophomore whores who have yet to get knocked up. So I'm a bit bias. But it does have it's good side: It's a good feeling to have your five-year high school reunion come up and realize that even through you're still in college, you're not some pathetic shell of yourself, uninsured and working in a fucking concrete plant and have five kids in one stinking apartment. But, at least the school has another gym.  So, to my point: Spanish does blow, because not only is it a stupid language but it's a stupid language that stereotypes everyone who speaks it into a greasy pimp who thinks the '50s are still raging. Thank you. Now, back to Slack-Man...

At least you didn't have to learn a dead language like Irish for 12 years...where it's only spoken by 6 people in a cave.....as far as I know. |

Don't forget my Grandad, he speaks it too, actually he did say something about living in a cave once.... Are you sure there's still 6 in there? |

Do they poop in the cave, or outside of it? |

A friend of mine has gone to Uni to study joint honours of Hindu/Music...but he picked that himself, so it's his fault!I on the otherhand am in my final yr at uni and I've been given 2 weeks to decide what my personal project is going to be...fuck, shit, wank, bollocks....too many ideas spinning around in my washing machine head. 2 weeks, argh! Anyway how would you say 'shake those castanets' in Spanish, Slacker?!! |

Slacker, almost every other country requires many, many more years of a foreign language than we're forced to take, so take heart - it could be worse.Actually, I'd think you'd WANT to learn Spanish, seeing as it's practically become the native language of Texas...and California...and Florida...etc. |
